    I would rather have Parasound, Emotiva or av123 X-Series for amps.

    ? is what am I looking for in wpc at 4 ohms? Is a strong 100 enough or ?

    I really want the X-Hub as a Pre whenever it comes out. Tubes are sweet though. Conrad is some nice vintage gear for sure.

    OFF TO RAT SHACK!!!

    Btw, the pioneer vsx 5000 is a very strange receiver. looks like 100 wpc in stereo so I will take it easy for sure.

    Keep an eye out for an inexpensive amp for these will ya'll? I will too.

    My room is now 40% speaker lol.

    I have the same receiver. Sounds good, but last i checked i don't think it has a pre-out, so running separate amps.....

    You'll need a new reciever.

    I just have mine running some VS-25s in my bedroom, VERY easy to listen to. :)
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    Really? You have one? PLEASE tell me how to set it up for a clean input from an external dac. I do not want any effects. I believe that I have achieved this but want to make certain. The amp might be ok but my source atm is a Sony dvd/cd 5-disc POS player lol. Talk about harsh in the highs. Especially with the 2000 tweets.

    I will eventually be replacing it with more modern builds from av123. Pretty certain that the X-Hub or X-Empower will be smash hits.

    I'd have to look around for you... to be real honest, i don't have the remote or the manual, i got it off a showroom floor locally for $100 for the reciever and the DVD player with it.

    I just run the DVD player to the reciever with a Monster cable digi opti, and just hooked up the VS-25s as is, and i think it sounds great. Very accurate, tight, and VERY good imaging.

    Might want to look into finding the matching DVD player. I think the code is E-500? I'll double check that at least for you tonite. :)

    Yeah, I was given the receiver. I do hear the imaging but do not think that the amp is up for SRS-2 driving lol. I will not use a dvd/cd player as a source though. I generally use my laptop which plays lossless via Trends Audios UD-10 usb to coax converter. Problem is that the vsx-5000 is pre-coax input so yeah.

    Oh, I also got a Pioneer VSX-5000.

    Forgive me, how do you hook these speakers up properly? He was using a gage of wire that I laughed at. I need to make something better. I have some 10 gage copper handy.

    There is no I/C cable. I am not doing anything until I here from someone who knows these things. Don't worry, I am worn out from moving them.

    You can sell them to me the speakers Polks just in case you don't know. I'm a Polk SDA lover. I would like to have all of the SDA SRA'S line.

    lol yeah but unless you live near me forget it. I could never ship these for less than $500 just for the shipping and effort. Much less the amount it would take to pry them away from me lol.

    damn. amps are really tricky.

    Parasound A21 is my current favorite. I won't be buying until next month but am having fun looking. lol

    oh and the Spectron Musician 3 SE is sick at 4 ohms.
